Array ( [sid] => 121739 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Epitaph [time] => 2006-06-13 23:18:15 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Bend low! Oh dusky night..
and give my spirit rest..
hold me close upon thy breast
and put old cares to flight.
Give back the lost delight
that once, my soul possessed
when love was lovliest.
Bend low! Oh dusky night.

Enfold me in your arms,
the sole embrace I crave.
Until the embracing grave,
shield me from life's alarms.
Your deepest spell I brave,
stongest then, to stay and save..
enfold me in your arms.

Seems you are struggling with alot.The write gives a self complete, yet not all the way there.!
Try smiling,....
sometimes, just doing that and knowing can help.!~.

Sometimes I think some of the poets here have endless creativity, and you, I fear, are one of them : )
An emotive piece that leaves a lasting impression---even in its brevity. Well done.

Billy~
night time seems to be longer and more frightening
when you suffer from worry, or fear, or loneliness, no?

Still, you have trapped a beautiful sentiment and
an extraordinary comfort within your soft plea.

Something about the way in which you trap these
emotions, though, never gives me pause, except
perhaps to mull over how you seemed to have
amassed such an exceptional capacity for free
thought and verse.

Your musings never grow tiresome. -EVER

always-
~Breezy

What a comforting poem this is, reaches in to the soul and dusts it off for another night.
While the heart genlty ponders and gets ready for another day. Beautiful writting Bill.

Billy~

How little words can say so much.
The night yes brings lonliness , fear in ones heart my dear friend. It's obvious through ur words that u have been struggling within urself and that u have alot on ur mind. Write and vent to ur hearts content my dearest Billy~ it helps ease the pain and suffering.
You are an outstanding poet, unique and special in your own way. Always here for you my dear friend. Keep up the awesome work.
love from ur devoted fan/friend,

"Give back the lost delight
that once, my soul possessed"

I can truly relate to this...

Very beautiful!
